We went to the gym today! The weather outside was frightful, and it was soo delightful, to go to the gym with my wife!
We both got on treadmills and did our thing. I jogged a mile then walked at 10% incline at 3.5 mph for a bit. I would have quit then and moved onto the elliptical machines but my wife decided she was going to job some. So it was on. We took turns alternating walking 5 minutes then jogging 5 minutes. She was walking faster than I was walking, especially since I over did it leg pressing 720 pounds yesterday and boy were my leg muscles not happy today. She was closing in on my distance as she walked and I would pull ahead again as I jogged since I was faster there. In the end I kept a 2/10 of a mile lead over her but she could have totally beaten me if she wanted. She jogs faster than me and walks faster than me. I was just lucky today.
My PM workout was 45 minutes on the elliptical machine. I kept it set at 50% of the max the machine could go. My legs protested greatly but I made it.
Foods today were good. I was reasonably close to my target calories and dinner was the best of the day. I made a chicken soup using chicken legs, lentils, harvest grains, carrots, celery, onion, and some instant mashed potatoes. The potatoes thicken it slightly and give it a nice earthy flavor. Here is what it looked like.
The soup was great today since we had the ice storm last night and muc
